LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1836. -- Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed a letter to his con ltituents, which will be found in another part of our paper. It contains "an account of his stewardship," detailing the course he deemed it proper to pursue on the most i mportant quest i ons t h at came b e f ore t h e °use of Commons last Session, and explaining the motives by which he was influenced. t , The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then lays down plan which he means to pursue in future, in order to obtai n t h at j ust i ce f or I reland to wh i ch s h e i s enti tled, and concludes by declaring th a t so f a r from seeing ':,1137 reason to despair, or even to despond, his " hopes are high f or I re l an d." The Liberat o r thus eloquently, and not more elo 4uently than truly, sums up the prospects of his mentry The Ministers of the KING are with B the Lord Li eu t enan t of Ireland is with us—a Powerful minority in England are inclined in our favour a large majority in Scotland are anxiously with us en an d we ourselves, Irishmen, are combining with more heeiagy r and discretion united than we ever before be h°- Men o f ran k and of fortune are mingling • : 11e stly and zealously with the most patriotic classes t i l te caus e o f I re l an d.

Far di Iv ki _ W aa the di ,.__ in every Halifax dinor. There the I t v , hot to , e , ~. r rsuacte iteformers to attend, but to find room for those who did attend ; which, after many expedients had been suggested, being found impossible, the company were compelled to adjourn to " a spacious temporary structure, erected in the Woollen Hall, where, in the course of the evening, there were pre sent, at the lowest calculation, twelve hundred per sons." At this important Meeting—important whether we regard numbers, intelligence, or respecta bility, and still more so, as contrasted with the Fram lingham feed—Mr. WOOD expressed himself at consi derable length, and with manly energy, on the subject of the public measures projected and passed by a Re form Ministry, and in particular bore personal testi mony to the great advantages that had accrued from the Poor Law Bill, observing, " Nothing could exceed the advantages that had resulted to the poor working man from the operation of that law. He was in Sussex some time since, and was informed that now the labourer was amply repaid for his labour—that employment was general, that the idle and profligate had disappeared, and that happiness and contentment had superseded discontent and crime." This is satisfactory, more so than Mr. WOOD'S subse quent remarks on the House of Lords, to any Reform in which we regret to find him op posed. "He wished," he said, "as a sin cere Reformer, to press on them the extreme impolicv of urging forward such a question as a Re form of the Upper House—a question on which they were not all agreed. If they wished to carry through that House any measure short of a revolutionary change of the Constitution, they could only do so by the unanimous exertions of the Reformers of the empire. Let them then act upon those measures upon which they were all agreed, and not, by urging those upon which differences existed, diminish that power which they possessed. He felt convinced that Englishmen had the power of obtaining from the Legislature every beneficial measure they really desired, provided they temperately, firmly, and constitutionally exerted them selves to achieve them." Did we entertain the same full and lively faith in the power of the people to bring the Lords to a sense of their duty that Mr. WOOD here professes to entertain, we too should consider a Reform in that institution as a project rather to be de precated than encouraged ; but we cannot, even if we would, shut our eyes to the fact that their Lordships are incorrigible ; that the sternest lessons of expe rience are thrown away on them ; that their preju dices, immoveable as Ailsa Craig, forbid all hope of their amendment ; and that so long as their irres ponsible privileges continue, so long will they exercise them in accordance with their own interests and con venience, be the consequence to the country what it may. It is therefore from Reform alone that we look for their amendment ; and to deprecate this Reform, on the plea that the people are divided upon it, ap pears to us—no matter how plausible may be the objection—to strike at the very root of national im provement. But not only this : it actually gives the Lords encouragement to proceed in their present haughty career ; for if they arc constantly told by Reformers, that it is impossible any change can take place in their institution, who but must see that they will act on the strength of this alleged impossibility, and become more anti-liberal next Session than they have been during the last ? If we except these few cursory remarks of Mr. WooD, the language held by the different speakers at the Halifax dinner was just such as should be held by Reformers. We shall give a lengthened report of the proceedings to-morrow, for they are too important to be dismissed, as a Tory journal has very judiciously dismissed the Framlingham feed, within the compass of a few lines. The whole of the Paris Papers of Friday and Sa turday have been received. On Friday the KING and Royal family left Compeigne for Neuilly, where they arrived safely at an early hour in the afternoon. As it was expected that the Royal party would remain at Compeigne till Sunday or Monday, so sudden a return excited a good deal of excitement in the capital. It was rumoured that another attempt to assassinate the KING had taken place, and that the villain was seized in the very act ; but there is no confirmation of this report in the Journals before us. The following ac count of the KING'S reception by the army appears in Galignani's Messenger : " The King left the palace of Compeigne on Wednesday, at twelve o'clock, in an open carriage, for the Plaine de Ma rigny, to review the troops. He was accompanied by the Queen, Madame Adelaide, the two Princesses, the two young Princes, one in the uniform of the Light Infantry, and the other in that of the Artillery, by the President of the Council, the Ministers of Public Instruction and of War, and Marshal Gerard. A short time before reaching the ground his Majesty mounted his charer, having the Duke d'Aumale by his side, and accompanied by a numerous staff, amongst whom appeared several Prussian officers. The President of the Council re mained in the carriage with the Queen. The King was re ceived by the Prince Royal. After passing along the lines of each division of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, during which his Majesty conferred in each several crosses, and granted pro motion to several officers, the manoeuvres were gone through under the command of the Duke of Orleans. Notwith standing precautions taken, th e f o ll ow ing un f or t unate all accident occurred the :—A woman and three artillerymen were wounded by one of the field-pieces, which went off while in the act of loading, from the omission of the Captain of the gun to stop the touch-hole. The rammer was sent out with such force, that it broke the arms of the three artillerymen and the thigh of the woman. His Majesty, on being made ac quainted with this disaster, gave orders that every care and relief should be afforded to the sufferers. The first has had the left arm amputated, the second the right, and the third the right from the elbow. The poor woman's leg was taken off above the knee. The review being over, the King got into the carriage, and at half-past five returned to the palace, escorted by the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours. Wherever his Majesty appeared, he was received with enthusiastic accla mations of loyalty. " All the members of the diplomatic body have received an invitation from the Court to be present at the military fetes at Compeigne, and to prolong their stay there during the absence of the Court from Paris. Among the distinguished persons who have been invited are Gen. Alava, the Chevalier d'Ayl lon, and all the members of the late Spanish Embassy." The review lasted four hours. The greatest pre caution was observed to prevent all strangers from ap proaching the KING. In whatever direction he rode, an escort preceded him to keep off the people, so that the crowds that thronged to see him were completely disappointed. The number of troops amounted to 25,000. The Charte de 1830, a new Government evening journal, has an official article in its number of Saturday, denying the truth of the statement that the French Government is disposed to secede from the quadruple treaty. For a proof of this we shall look to its acts. There is little else of any importance in the French Papers of Friday and Saturday. The Journal du Commerce and the Journal de Paris both contain able articles on the Spanish question ; but we have looked over them in vain for any new fact, either in confirmation of, or in opposition to, the statements we have already made, and the opinions we have so fre quently expressed. _ Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord CANTERBURY were in Paris on Thursday. Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 25th ult. have been received. Their contents are most satisfac tory. The new Government proceeds vigorously in its efforts to restore tranquillity to Spain. A Society, calling itself " the Society of Regenerators of the People," presented a petition to the QUEEN on the 19th, signed by its President, Senor CALVO DE ROTAS, praying her MAJESTY to permit it to hold its meetings in the capital. The Government, with a promptitude which quite confounded the originators of this new Jacobin club, published a Royal ordinance, declaring all such institutions to be unconstitutional, and that care should be taken to suppress them. It has also expelled two hundred Frenchmen from Ma drid, suspected of haying been sent there at the in stance of a certain personage in France, with a view to sow the seeds of anarchy in the capital. This mea sure has given great satisfaction to all the peaceable inhabitants. MENDIZABAL has also made such arrange ments as will enable him to pay the dividends on the home and foreign debt. The recent victory obtained over the Carlists by General AL AIX, of which an account is given in another column, has cast a gloom over the hopes of Don CARLOs' warmest partizans. Madrid is now safe ; and henceforth the rebels will be driven to act wholly on the defensive. The representatives of Austria , Naples, and Sardi nia, were expected to leave Madrid on the 26th. The Marquis DE LA GRUA, the Neapolita n Ambassador, was furnished with his passports unasked, with a noti fication that the Government would allow him so many days to quit the Spanish territory. The cause of this on the part of the Government is to be found . ISLINGTON CATTLE MARKET. This day's supply consisted 01159 Beasts, 2116 Sheep and Lambs, and 5 Calves.

OCTOI3EII 3, 1536. in the refusal of the Neapolitan Executive to forbid the sale of Don CARLOS 's portrait in Naples as King of Spain. M. DE RAYMOND, the Austrian Charge d'Affaires, and M. DE ST. MARTIN, the Sardiniac Envoy, demanded their passports, in consequence of the proclamation of the Constitution of 1812. If these departures be followed by no demonstration of direct liostUity on the part of the Northern Powers, Spain may congratulate herself on getting rid of these spies upon the actions of her Government. One chan nel of intrigue will thus be dried up. We repeat, we have the fullest confidence in the pre sent Government of Spain. Should it meet with a continuation of the success which has hitherto at tended it, the King of the FRENCH may once more unite with it against the Usurper. His Majesty's conduct will of course be regulated by the " march of events," so as to place him on the winning side, if possible. It was stated in Madrid, on the 24th, that GOMEZ was at Infantos, near the foot of the Sierra Morena— a considerable range of mountains. RODIL had cut off his retreat into Arragon and Castile. Murcia and Andalusia were before him ; but, as the inhabitants are hostile to Don CARLOS, it is difficult to detesmine his future route. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. Win. Bladding, a bedstead-maker, was charged before Mr. HALLS with committing a violent assault upon two police constables. F No. 40, deposed that on Saturday night, near twelve o'clock, he was in Lombard-court, where he saw a drunken man sitting upon the step of a door, quite incapable of taking care of himself, Witness called a brother constable, and were taking him to the station-house, when the prisoner came up, saying he was a constable, and they should not take him away. They told him not to interfere with them in the exe cution of their duty, when he immediately struck at, and kicked them. Witness was knocked down by a kick. F 101 corroborated the evidence given by the last witness. The prisoner said he had been sworn in as a constable of the parish. On Saturday night he saw the two policemen not taking a drunken man, but ill using a woman whom they were knocking on the stones. He went up to them and said, " Dent ill use the woman, she can walk ; if not you can carry her." Upon which No. 40 immediately said,!" I know you," and struck him with his stave. A Sergeant, No. 2 F, said he would not volunteer his evi dence. He saw the two policemen taking a man to the sta tion-house, when the prisoner came up and said that he was a constable. Witness told him he must not interfere with the police. He had not gone far when he beard the scuffle, and turning round saw the prisoner kicking and striking. The prisoner said there was not a word said about his kick ing at the station-house. That was a charge trumped up be tween the two policemen, because he would not compromise the affair with them. No. 40 had called him out twice that morn ing since he came to the office. He would not hearken to him—all he heard him say was, " don't be obstinate, as you must take the consequences." Policeman No. 40, said he had not called the prisoner out. A friend of the prisoner called him arid witness out, and he knew nothing of what he wanted. The friend said, " don't be too hard upon him," and that was all that passed. Mr. HALLS called the prisoner's friend, who corroborated the last policeman. The Magistrate then said be could not believe a word the prisoner said, when he found him make such an infamous charge against the officer. He would fine him 40s. Thu Prisoner—Then I will appeal. HATTON-GARDEN. EFFECTS OF THE TRADES' UNIONS. - liqtrn. Price, a hardworking-looking man, was brought before Mr. LAING, charged by a policeman with sleeping in the open air at Is lington. The prisoner, upon being asked what he had to say, admit ted the statement made by the policeman, but added that he was compelled to do so in consequence of being without em ployment. He was an ironworker by trade, and had worked at Messrs. Maudslays' for some time, but in consequence of his refusing to join the Union,thelhad several times been ill treated by them, so much so that it was impossible to continue in his place. Mr. LAING asked if the men were dissatisfied with their wages ? Price said it was not for wages, but they wanted to work only 10 hours a day, instead of ten hours and a half. They could earn from 265. to 30s. a week. Mr. LAING said neither he nor any one else ought to be in timidated by such fellows. Price said he was very anxious to obtain work, but could not. It was intimated to Mr. Laing that there was plenty of work to be obtained in Liverpool, so much so, that they had actually been soliciting men for that purpose. Price told the Magistrate that he would gladly go there if he had the means. Mr. L&ING desired him to attend at the office at three o'clock this afternoon, and in the meantime he would take into consideration the best mode of forwarding him to Birmingham. Price expressed his gratitude to the worthy Magistrate, and left the office. Two lads, named Thomas Black= and William Watson, were sentenced to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction, for being found in an area yesterday morning, in Powis-place, Great Coram-street, with intent to commit a felony. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals last week of English Wheat, Irish Oats and Flour coastwise were good, and of other articles moderate. The trade in general remained much as on the previous Mon day, but Oats obtained a small advance in prices in conse quence of the reports of wet weather in Scotland, and the backward state of the harvest there. This morning the fresh supplies of all descriptions of Grain were moderate. The chief part of the Wheat samples were tender, and the best dry, both old and new, firmly maintained last week's terms, but the other qualities not suiting our millers were very dull. The best parcels of Barley obtained last Monday's terms, but such as are stained were rather cheaper. Old Beans fully support last quotations, and new being chiefly tender, sell heavily. Boiling Pease arc rather dearer. Grey Pease are unvaried. Oats have rather exceeded the tering of last Monday, as the accounts from Scotland still come unfavourable. Flour meets with a fair demand at its late prices. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) 42s 525. Beans, Small (new) 365.403.

Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend mails. We have also ship letters from Jamaica, Halifax, Newfound land, and Rio Janeiro ; Singapore of the 14th April, and Ceylon of 3d May. The Singapore papers state—`• The shipping arrivals of the week have been few, and have furnished us with little news of interest. It is painful to us to be called upon in the course of our public duty to record almost every week instances of piracies. The two journals of the settlement teem with ac counts of atrocities committed in our neighbourhood by sea robbers."

The Duke of Argyll is entertaining a family circle at Inverary, where there has been a succession of visiters to con. gratulate his Grace on his return to his hereditary domains, after an absence of 12 years. The Noble Duke is expected to return to the south shortly after the departure of the Court for Brighton. The Duke of Argyll was always a great favourite with his pre sent Majesty, and also a personal friend of his brother George I V. The Marquis of Anglesea has just, received.consi derable accession of income from his copper and lead mines, the income from which has usually amounted to 70,000 1 . per annum. Lord George Bentinck's winnings by the splendid performance of Elis, are now said to come very little sort of 30,0001. Sir William Becher and his Lady, once the charm ing Miss O'Neill, and their family, reside in complete retire ment at their seat, Ballygibbin, in the county of Cork. There was apparently close intimacy and kind feeling between the Duchess of St. Albans and Lady Becher, whn they were visiting Cheltenham at the same time for the benefit of the waters. SHIPWRECK.—On the 18th inst., at ten o'clock p.m., the schooner La Ostendia of Ostend, De la Preane, master, from Liverpool, laden with salt, tin, and wool, for Ostend, foundered about twelve leagues W. S. W. of Lundy Island. The master and crew, six in number, were landed at St. Ives on the 19th, about ten a.m. The master reports that when they quitted the vessel, she had from eight to nine feet of water in the hold,—Cambrian.

MAGAZINES-CONTINUED. TAIT' S MAGAZINE. Simpkin and Marshall. There is an abundance of capital articles in Tait for this month. " The Student's Farewell to Ireland," occupying nine pages, replete with Spencerian stanzas, is, however, too much of a good thing—the more especially as many of the lines are by no means such as Spencer would have written. " Tours and Detours in Scotland" is con cluded in this Number. The " Aristocrat's Wif e " i s a sketch drawn with great power and effect. The Re views of Books are well done, as they always arc in " Tait." The most remarkable article in the whole, and the one which in our opinion ought to have been inserted first, is a letter to Joseph Hume,• Esq., M.P., by the Rev. Humphrey Price, perpetual curate of Christ's church, Needwood. The following is an extract from it : " But, despite the few nobler spirits, wo unto the unre presented millions, if the power of the mighty in the Lower House be not qualified, and sobered down, and reduced within its proper limits, and restrained to a wholesome exercise, by the honest single-eyed determination of the millions them selves I They tell you that common salt is composed of two elements, one of which taken alone into the stomach would be death ; wholesomeness and safety lying in the proper mix ture of the two. There is something analagous amongst men in society. Wholesomeness and safety consists in properly mixing up the rich and powerful, with the poorer and feebler, yet more numerous class, so that the latter may balance against the former. But an objector may ask-4 Will not the rich and powerful look well to the kingdom for their own sakes ?' They will look to it, if left to themselves, just as kings, and lords, and Muscovite czars, for their own power and pleasure. - But this is not the true question. The true question is, whether they will strive to establish the prosperity of the millions. No ! they never did ; and they never will, so long as the millions leave themselves in their power. To a certain degree, they cannot maintain their own just prosperity without incidentally promoting that of the millions ; but what our millions now be gin to seek for is, not incidental but direct prosperity—not that sort of prosperity which consists in the mere crumbs under the table as their perquisites for having sown and reaped the corn, and made and baked the bread, but rather a fair good slice of the loaf itself. But this slice of the loaf they never will have, until they get it for themselves in their own House of Parliament, by representatives of their own free choice. There is the place, the only place, (and they should be sedu lously taught, as I before observed, to look to it as the only place), where they can constitutionally obtain and secure their rights. However they may plough, and reap, and throw the shuttle, and drive the nail, they never will, and they never can, possess and enjoy the rewards of their toil, so long as they ere shut out of their own rightful House of Commons. Till they, one and all, take possession of their own House by their true representatives, those already in will take good care of the best things at its disposal and control, for themselves alone. The unrepresented millions may build the House, but their non-representatives alone will live in it, sharing its honours and emoluments amongst themselves as best they may. " What is the present state of things ? The unrepresented amongst us are about thirteen millions and a half—the repre sented being about one million and a half. Ponder this awful fact—thirteen millions and a half of us have little more to do with our Constitution, and are of little more account in it than are the negro apprentices in the West Indies ! Only one mil lion and a half out of fifteen millions of us are represented in what is called our Reformed House of Commons ! Monstrous injustice i Thirteen and a half out of fifteen millions of us are shut out of our own House of Commons ! Who shuts us out ? No matter who. Why are we shut out ? That those within may make the most of us. In their hands we lie. The all-powerful few within keep the others out, for slaves ! O monstrous shame 0 sly, hypocritical, and base oppression ! Is it possible that, thus placed, the thirteen millions and a half of Englishmen should be well governed, equitably go verned, in prosperity and happiness ? No ; not even if the all-powerful few in our own House of Parliament were real Christians in very deed and very truth, trying to the utmost to do unto others as they would others should do unto them. Even in that most favourable of all supposable cases, the one million and a half could no more properly govern the thirteen millions and a half, than they could do the work and perform the duties of the thirteen millions and a half. No ; they may as well let that alone for ever ; the task is beyond their strength, the burden too heavy for the back. What hope, then, have we? None whatever, save in amendment. The King ( God bless him !) is the only Reform King we ever had ; but he is only one member of our Constitution. The Lords—(there is great talk of mending them)—the Lords, whether bad or good, form the second member of our Constitution. Let us mend them if we can—get rid of them constitutionally, we cannot. But the Commons, I again inquire—the Commons, where are they ? Not in their own House, save a moiety of them, in political existence. If you would find them, you must first call them forth within the boundaries of sight, by the omnipotent voice of law. For the present, they are as though they were not. There are thirteen and a half millions of them ready to start forth. Far better to call them forth, than to linger and stop till they burst forth. Why expose us to violent explosions ? Why suffer the water-spout to burst over our heads, if you could dissipate it at a safe distance, or cause it to descend in gentle showers ? Why suffer the light ning to strike, if it might be conveyed innocuous to the earth? The water-spout may burst, and yet the ship may ride—the lightning may strike, yet spare the tree; but who could an swer for the bursting forth, the blasting stroke, of a whole angry and infuriated population ? In their own House they would be safe, happy, and of incalculable value. Out of it, they are never to be trusted, are always discontented, and robbed of more than half their worth. Admit them ; give them free and full possession. Complete the Constitution. Let us have Ton COMMONS—no longer a moiety of them merely, but the whole Commons. Till then, there will be neither cordiality of feeling, nor desired security, nor real prosperity. To oppose this new-born wish among the multi tude is fearfully unwise. They are not what they were. A spirit has been roused within them that will never be quieted, save by success. A soul has been created under the ribs of deuth,' which will be immortal as the race of man on earth. The spirit of a true man is within them. This spirit is ga thering daily strength, is opening its young eyes, and learning how to exercise them aright; is amazed at what it sees; is comparing, contrasting, calculating; has learned its numera tion table, even beyond the amount of our National Debt ; is pondering deeply upon great practical subjects, which were as unknown to their grandfathers, and till of late to them selves, as were those little carriages which will soon be on all our roads, dragging after them their thirty or forty tons thirty or forty miles an hour, by the aid of a small quantity of water turned into steam, or by even some simpler process still. Equally wonderful revolutions are now taking place in the minds of men respecting their own social relations in life, as are now progressing in the application of mechanical and che mical science, towards the furtherance of universal prosperity. The millions of the country—the unrepresented—the debarred of their own House—aliens in' their own country—despised strangers at home—are in silent but profound motion, without oaths, without secret signs, influenced by one only determina tion—the determination to get their rights. For forms of government they care but little. Names of men and of things are to them of trivial moment. But, for their rights, they are to a man more or less determined alike to contend. A revolution in their minds—scarcely to be conceived by other countries, unknown till of late even to themselves, and at this moment little understood by those in high stations among them—is clearly developed." THE FREEMASONS' QUARTERLY RE VIE TV. Sherwood and Co. This periodical improves apace. The articles are nu merous, and well written. Of course, we presume that none but members of the fraternity contribute to its pages. The following extract, from an article by Mr. Jerrold, called " The Old Boatman," is a fair specimen of the amusing sketches in which it abounds : " Sold ! all sold ! Now will I hie me home—live at mine ease—hang a lamp of silver at the shrine of St. Francis, and when I die—pah I—death is many a mile away from the wealthy Pedro. Fellow I—yonder !" Thus ruminated—thus spake Pedro Xibecq, as lie stepped from the beach into a skiff, and pointed out to the plying boat men a fine trimmed vessel in the bay. Pedro might well triumph ; he had made his last voyage— bore about him a heavy weight of wealth, the produce of his freight, some ten score healthy blwks. " They nrc snatched from their heathen idols, and will be blest with the true faith." Thus thought Pedro ; and with the thought, he laid his hand upon the bag of gold. And as the boat glided silently along, bright visions gladdened the eyes of Pedro. Ile saw a palace thronged with menials in his many coloured livery —gardens, radiant as paradise—lakes of rippling silver. b En trancing music stole upon his ears, and his heart rose . eating to the sound. Pedro smiled, and again he pressed his hand urisin his gold. " This glory—this g reatness—will l _ bemine—. long as I live, mine—and when I die,— a , ! 1 again death —tut ! death is many a hundred miles away. For the first time Pedro surveyed the craft in which he was embarked. "So : a crazy shell this ! In the name of St. Nicholas, how many thousand years hath it swam the sea ?" " Many thousands"— " Thousand 1" echoed Pedro, darting a fierce look at the unmoved boatman ; paused a minute ‘.i on his oars ; then leaning his "thousand !" The boatmen long back towards Pedro,selernspreath chilling the flushed - face of the prosperous man._ 2 said— when the wood whereof was built the ark was yet green and budding, the boat you sit in was upon the wa ve ."— "H a I am! stowed with a m a d man ?" Pull, slave--pull to your ship, or —and Pedro c l utched his pistol in his belt. , he sun sank, and all was dark. Pall, dog !" shouted Pedro—" pull But the oars were still—the boat, as upon a rock, without m otion. Pedro leapt forward to smite the bowman, and to seize the oars, H e struck, and groped in the darkness, and found himself alone 1 Pedro staggered back, and fell upon the seat ; and, im me di ately, he heard the boatman at his task ; oars dipped in the wave—and the boat went on. The heat t of Pedro beat at every stroke—and his face g rew cold and wet as re e ki ng marble. His ;hand fell dead upon his bag of gold—he plucked it thence, as though a snake had stung it. Like an arrow from a bow, the- boat shot through the stream. All night, the sound of the oars, true as the half minutes, rang upon the brain of Pedro, and his bones became as ice. And when the morning dawned, Pedro saw the blue eyes —cold and bright as stars—of the old boatmen, gleaming upon him. He turned to seek his ship, and he saw nothing on the waste of waters round about him. Pedro gasped, and tried to speak, but his tongue was dead flesh in his mouth. And the sinewy arms of the boatman still swept the bear,V i ng oars. And there were nought but signs of sa.e i aua--terrible ma- 4 nifestations. The very sea, parted by the I{C,I, p cietH r74 y the oars, became stagnant and jellied. A flying-fish rose from the wave, and fell de 4 111eVart, and the little nautilus closed its sail, and sank lik a . A shoal of dolphins gamboled to the surface, A ; 4, - thi tr „.„," oars dipped Lear them, the morning light brightened t cir mortal hues. 4 -4 ~~1 The shark darted at his prey, but sank with rigid jaws. The huge leviaaan bellowed as the boat drew nigh—belle wed and disappeared. The strong winged swalLm, follower of the sun, fell upon the boatman's knees! And still the old boatman bent at his oars. There was no sca, bay, river, lake, creek, or dyke, whereon the boatman had not, in some way, plied. Trusted with revelling youth and beauty, he had wrecked a gondola; and now, as pilot, sunk whole crews on rocks and sands. In the darkness of night he bath hailed a ship, and the next morn the sharks have followed yawning for corpses. And Pedro, fur a moment, thought of his gains —of the human marrow he had bartered for minted gold. He glanced towards his foot, and he saw the metal melted into a mass, the scull of a dead man en' raven in it, and his own name be neath. He looked again at the boat ; for he had assured him self of a lifs of fulness—of palaces, of bowing crowds and glo rious feasts !--he looked—and he was alone—shrouded and in his coffin, drifting on an eternal sea 1 " And still it drifts—and still the spirit of Pedro, doomed by the Old Boatman, calls, in the dead of night, to sinners on the deep !" IIfONTHLY MAGAZINE. This Magazine, which has only reached us this morning, contains one elaborate essay, in which thought and learning are discernible, entitled the " History of Philosophy," and two or three tales of an average order of merit. On the whole, the Number is a good one, for th e ar ti c l es are not too long-winded, and there is a considerable variety of them. Our favourite, however, is a t rans l at i on f rom t h e Philoctetes in Lemnos, which is elega n t an d sp i r i te d , an d keeps tolerably close to the original. LIBRARY OF FICTION. The best tale in this Number, which is exclusively de voted to nouvellettes, is the " Old Farm House," written by Mrs. Fairlie, and edited by the Countess of Blessington, a statement, the meaning of which we do not exactly un derstand, unless we are to suppose that the ideas were sup- Sed by one lady and the language by another. " M rs . ith at Home" is lively, but occasionally too flippant. The subject too is worn threadbare. 4, t,, NAVAL HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN. This is an interesting and faithful record of the pro ceedings of our Navy, during the earlier portion of the last war, and is embellished with two portraits, one of Sir Alexander Cochrane ; and the other of Sir Thomas Duck worth. When completed, it will form a capital work for historical references. Captain Brenton is the Editor. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY, MAGAZINE. Simpiin and Marshall. The biographical sketch of the Earl of Charlemont, which when completed, will form the seventh portrait in the gallery of " Illustrious Irishmen," is a very creditable performance. The style is not so laboured as it was in the sketches of Berkeley and Boyle ; but were this objection able, it would be more than counterbalanced by the absence of that excessively offensive party spirit which disfigured the portrait of the amiable Goldsmith—the last name in Irish annals which deserves to be associated with the idea of political or sectarian partizanship. The " History of Lord Pope" is by no means an indifferent imitation of Swift's " Tale of a 'rub." No liberal mind can take offence at such a good-humoured mode of assailing the prejudices, or what are thought to be the prejudices, of any people. The second part of the " Bribed Scholar" appears to us overdrawn, though full of power. Mr. O'Brien must be capable of greater variety, or we know nothing of the human mind. The " Fawn of Springvale," by the author of " Traits and StOr:es of the Irish Peasantry," is con tinued in this Number. The sentiments are as beautiful as the language is chaste, and the incidents are natural. The other articles are for the most part reviews of works which have been favourably noticed in the columns of The Sun. With the exception of its ultra-Tory articles, we meet with no papers in this Magazine which are not de serving of high commendation. CHRISTIAN REFORMER. Sherwood and Co. The valuable " Notes on Passages of Scripture " are re su•ned in this Number. There is also a second letter relating to theology, from the pen of J. G. Herder, remarkable for the boldness and originality of its speculations. The other articles will likewise amply repay perusal. It appears that the Philippians have begun to persecute the French Unitarians. This must be a source of rejoicing to the members of that sect, both as showing that their tenets are making rapid progress in France, and as the surest means of still further disseminating them. THE BRITISH FARMERS' MAGAZINE. Ridgway and Sons. There are many excellent papers in this Number which our limits will not allow us to particularize. There is one, however, by Mr. Samuel Taylor, jun. on the manufacture of beetroot sugar in France, and on the cultivation of mangelwurzel or cattle beet in Great Britain, which is so important that we cannot help drawing the attention of our agricultural readers to it. The embellishment of the present Number is the portrait of a beautiful heifer of the Devon breed—one of the most perfect specimens we have ever seen. THE NUMISMATIC JOURNAL. Ef►ngham Wilson, Junior. King William-street. The second Number of this periodical has made its ap pearance, and fully justifies the expectations which the public were led to entertain from the first Number. Such a work as this was, in fact, a desideratum in our litera ture, which it was of the greatest importance should be supplied. The study of Numismatics has hitherto been confined to a comparatively small number, even of those who devoted themselves to the study of An tiquities. This has been owing, no doubt, in some measure to the nature of the subject, which affords a very ample field for reseach of itself, and requires also con siderable means to prosecute it to advantage. But these difficulties have been enormously increased by the want of such an assistant as now offers itself in the shape of a Journal which, while it collects together the information scattered through many expensive volumes, brings it before the public in a readable and popular form. It would be superfluous to enlarge upon the im portance of Numismatic science. All who know anything of the study of history, know how much light has been thrown upon long-past events by coins, which have outlived every other trace of the period in which they were produced, and many events still remain in uncer tainty, which can only be elucidated by the same means. The contents of this Number (of which we may remark, that though not of equal importance, they are all written with great ability) are—on the Jewish Shekel—on the Coins of Marcus J. Brutus—Skeatta of Aldfrith, King of Northumbria—Allectus and Constans—on the Skeatta ascribed to Wildfrid in Art. 3—an inedited Coin of Titus—Observations on the Coins of the Ancient Bri tons—Unpublished Half-crown of Charles the First— an inquiry into the motive which influenced the ancients in their choice of the various representations which we find qamped on their money—miscellanies. The engravings, part►cularly a gold medallion of Charles 1., from a collec tion in the British Museum, by 3. Bate, are beautifully executed. The Earl of Derby is entertaining Sir John and Lady Shelley and a few friends at Knowsley, where Lord and Lady Stanley are expected from Ireland shortly. The Duke of Buckingham is said to be convales cent, and able to join the circle of friends on a visit to the Marquis of Chandos. Prince Esterhazy is expected at Chandos House by the end of this week.
